About Quintonil

Quintonil is often described as vegetable-forward, but that understates how complete the restaurant feels. Jorge Vallejo's kitchen uses herbs, quelites, cactus, insects, seafood, and masa with a lighter hand than many grand tasting menus, while Alejandra Flores' front-of-house keeps the Polanco room warm and controlled. The result is Mexican fine dining with lift: acidity, crunch, green bitterness, and savoury depth instead of constant richness. Its two stars and World's 50 Best rise reflect a restaurant that keeps getting sharper.

  1. 5.0
    Editorial sample

    The cooking is polished without feeling anonymous, especially when the kitchen leans into mexican detail instead of luxury for its own sake. It is expensive, but the service rhythm and wine advice made the longer menu feel measured.

  2. 5.0
    Editorial sample

    Quintonil feels completely anchored in Polanco: the room, pacing, and seasonal tasting menu all make the meal feel specific rather than imported. The strongest courses had a clear point of view and enough restraint to avoid turning dinner into a demonstration.
